Despair and delusion link hands Best friends beneath the willow tree and the dangling exit Music to lonely ears Tired of humming alone In empty rooms Pacing well-worn floors With thoughts that will not sleep And will not stop Delusion comes like a crooked mirror Giving rise to a glimmer of hope Beautiful visions that shape themselves around my heart Solidifying in terrifying realness until they shatter Making way for her old friend, Despair Sparing no effort to prove itself Filling the hollow spaces with lies Blinding reason with fear Consuming hope with its leaden grip Until I wake Enduring another night with those friends Unconvinced of their sincerity.  Ellyson M. Shaw

The painful muscle within my chest knows every breath could be the last, each day I see could suddenly pass without another beat of my aching heart. But while the blood pumps thru my veins, while the thought is in my brain, I'll tell the world how you were mine, and we were love for no other reason than to be your happy Valentine
